GoDawgs08 Posted October 7, 2008 Share Posted October 7, 2008 does anyone know why the Saints have started wearing white at home? they have started to do it pretty often, but the funny thing is they are indoors.i remember their first game back in the dome after the hurricane, they wore gold/white/gold. maybe that has become the new thing? they also started wearing black pants again after the hurricane as well.white jerseys and black pants definitely dont look good indoors.(and have the vikings matched the helmet with the jersey yet? it still looks a tiny bit off! but not nearly as much as it used to) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CS85 Posted October 7, 2008 Share Posted October 7, 2008 I hate the Saints black pants. Looks horrible, like ballet tights. Need to wear the gold pants for every game.

So...really mandating color jerseys at home does theoretically disadvantage teams. Besides, the home fans may want to see the white jerseys.

Legend Posted October 7, 2008 Share Posted October 7, 2008 I noticed that tonight too while watching the game and I was kinda suprised.I actually don't like most teams wearing white at home, especially when the alternate jerseys are dark. The white jerseys at home is getting annoying IMO.The Saints all black is my favorite uni combo for them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlueSky Posted October 7, 2008 Share Posted October 7, 2008 The Saints are one of the few teams that don't do that much better at the Dome than on the road. It was supposedly a 'focus' this year for them to play better at home, and like Haslett did in 2000 for the last couple of games, I believe they switched to the road uni to change things up at home. It's a mistake IMO because even though it may be a small thing, allowing your opponent to wear their home unis takes away some of your home field advantage. Make 'em have the whole 'on the road' experience, unis and all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Same thing with the Texans, who wear white at home early in the season, and they play in a dome! Perhaps the air conditioning doesn't work as well early in the season.

John in KY Posted October 7, 2008 Share Posted October 7, 2008 (and have the vikings matched the helmet with the jersey yet? it still looks a tiny bit off! but not nearly as much as it used to)Slightly OT since this is mainly a Saints thread, but it seems like the artificial lighting makes the Vikings helmet and jerseys not match - at least on TV.When the Vikings have worn purple on the road outdoors the helmet and jersey are pretty well matched. If I can dig up a photo (Google photo is blocked here) I'll post one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BBTV Posted October 7, 2008 Share Posted October 7, 2008 The teams probably think that fans want to come to the game or support the team while wearing the same jersey that the team is wearing. If they only wear their home jersey, then (theoretically) they're only marketing 50% of their product. This way, they're getting people to buy / wear both home and away jerseys. That's just their thought process - I'm not saying it's a really good one.

BlueSky Posted October 7, 2008 Share Posted October 7, 2008 What's a dome got to do with anything? Wearing white in heat is overrated and obviously it wouldn't be a factor for indoors teams. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What I don't understand is why Philly does it. I mean, they do it against the 'Skins and Cowboys on a regular basis since they tend to love their white uniforms, but they did it against the Steelers. Why?And I guess the way that it figures in for my team is the fact that I did not see the Falcons wear white in the regular season until last week when they played the Packers. The entire first quarter of the season, the Falcons were in red. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
